Don't forget petrol evaporates very quickly, especially when dripping onto a hot engine or components, hence why you may be smelling it when you stop at lights.
I.e, no air moving over the bike to drag the fumes away.

Also, if you're concerned about "fueling", check the opening of your end can. Look at the colour of the pipe.

Light grey/white= Lean/Very lean (respective) NB if white, seek dealers or tuners to rectify sharpish.

Dark grey/black (but without heavy sooting)= fueling about right, safe until set up properly.

Black but heavy deposits of soot=VERY rich. Not good for power, economy or your engine as you could effectively be "washing" the bores of the very fine film of oil that sticks to the surface of said cylinder bores.
